Main issue: trying to plan before constipation gets bad. At 2.5 I got mild constipation but waited too long to adjust. Now that I moved up, I am trying to be less reactive. My plan is water earlier, walk after dinner, softer vegetables, and not using the dose-increase week as the week to test new foods. If you had constipation after moving from 2.5 to 5, what did you wish you started before it was already annoying?

Starting earlier is the part I wish I had done. I waited until I was uncomfortable and then tried five things at once.

Also useful to avoid testing new supplements and new foods at the same time. Otherwise you cannot tell what helped or irritated things.
